India abstains from UNSC vote to call for General Assembly session on Russia-Ukraine war

India abstained from a procedural vote taken in the UN Security Council to call for a rare special emergency session of the UN General Assembly on Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, even as New Delhi welcomed Moscow and Kyiv’s decision to hold talks at the Belarus border.

India, China and the UAE abstained, while Russia voted against the resolution.
